Electron orbital
in my cereal bowl.
orbital is a region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found. ... The electron cloud is a visual model that represents all the orbitals in an atom.
The higher the orbital an electron has the higher its energy and the more likely it is to react.
An atomic orbital is a region in an atom in which there is a high probability of finding electrons.
The quantum number that indicactes the shape of an orbital in called the angular momentum quantum number.

Orbital
We could use the term orbital if it refers to an electron bound in an atom. The term atomic orbital or electron orbital might be applied in this case. They are areas of probability where, because an electron has a given energy, it may be more likely to be found. Got a link to the Wikipedia on atomic orbitals for ya. Check it out and gain in knowledge.
That would be the electron cloud. This is like the orbital model where there are electrons in each orbit level but the electron's location can not be predicted so it is said to be most likely at a point in the electron cloud.

"The quantum mechanical model of the atom" is a pretty vague phrase, but basically it can be thought of as the set of solutions to the Schroedinger equation HΨ = EΨ . (Yeah, that looks like the world's stupidest equation with solution H = E, but what's important to understand is that H isn't a variable or number, it's an operator. That means we don't get a single E for all Ψ, we get a collection of Es each corresponding to a different function Ψ.)

the quantum mechanical model determines the allowed energies an electron can have and how likely it is to find the electron in various locations around the nucleus.
The higher the orbital an electron has the higher its energy and the more likely it is to react.

the energy is require to remove an electron from an atom (ionization energy) but when electron is absorbed in an atom energy is released (electron affinity) however 2nd electron affinity is endothermic ,energy is require.
